<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I think your question is more appropriate on StackOverflow than here -- generally issues here are for mlpack-specific support, but your questions are general to HMM usage.  Each of your questions are typical questions for HMM usage, and many of the parameters you're wondering about could be selected by cross-validating and selecting the model with highest log-likelihood.  If you have any problems with the software specifically, open an issue here and we can help out.</p>

<p>Thanks,<br>
Ryan</p>
